I don't know what the me of October 2021 was thinking, but I didn't order TF Outback and his PP foes from Pulse, only Target. I've doubled up on literally every other preorder. This has me concerned.
I'm still halfway convinced these will end up at Ollie's or Big Lots, and metro Atlanta has never gotten good distribution in those situations. Those Ollie's find pics on IG are NEVER here. |

Does Hasbro Pulse have to wait for Target to start shipping their exclusives before they can start shipping their "limited quantities"? It sounds like Target is a the bottleneck with TF/PP but I also pre-ordered those figures from Hasbro Pulse so why can't they ship them if those figures "left the warehouse" (or whatever the language is) awhile back?
Target has updated their delivery times for the PP/Outback figures several instances... while Pulse has not... BBTS is delivering Crimson Guards - Pulse is not. Yesterday I received the new classic Black Panther from Amazon and my Pulse order still says expected April 1 2023 !! so yeah, usually I just cancel my Pulse orders. |

Snake Eyes and Timber V2 just hit my pile of loot this morning. I know it's a repaint, but it's something! Worst case; now I have 2 wolves to display with Snakes. BBTS been getting a few things early for me these days.

I'm fairly certain all these delays at the Target end is due to incompetency of the people in charge and not policy.

One of them somewhere got many many many cases of AEW figures including a lot of chase variants. I'd like to think there's an Ollie's somewhere with like 85 Chuck Taylor figures sitting around (I'm kidding).

Backordered just means it missed its original date and they keep sliding it back until they resolve the order (one way or another). I had tons of Cobra Island stuff slip to backordered and never appear (my original preorder for Vipers being the most prominent). And I had a few that went backordered and then shipped a few days later.

Years ago we actually did hit a jackpot at the Duluth store. They had tons of the last of Mattel's Ghostbusters and a bunch of Marvel Legends. Since then it's been the usual junk. I checked for those AEW figures at both spots and never saw anything. |

Typically backorder dates from Target are not accurate. The item could ship before then, around that date, or be cancelled.
Backordered just means it missed its original date and they keep sliding it back until they resolve the order (one way or another). I had tons of Cobra Island stuff slip to backordered and never appear (my original preorder for Vipers being the most prominent). And I had a few that went backordered and then shipped a few days later. What this means is Target online fulfillment does not have any Outbacks (or if it does they are unaware of them, they are buried so deep in their backlog of containers and containers of overbought crap). KEEP IN MIND that Target uses different logistics systems for in-store and online fulfillments (Why? Don't ask me, I don't know, it's the same category of question as "Why does my dad drink so much?" - that's not for me to touch). So when (not if, WHEN) you see Outback at the local Target in Joliet, IL, and your order's on week 14 of backorder approval, the reason is they have different fulfillment centers and they don't care one lick that they allocated more to Ogallala, NE instead of your online order. EXCEPT! I just ordered the Sun-Man 3-pack yesterday at Target online (after it was shown available at local stores and my preorder was backordered, the Mandalorian mutters "this is the way" under his breath). It's out for delivery today, but using a proprietary Target shipper and was shipped from a local store. So it's separate fulfillment, but this local jawn is a new development. i.e., if you read all of the above and are angry and/or dizzy/confused, congratulations! You understand Target fulfillment perfectly! Don your cap and gown you graduate you!
